This typeface is a high-contrast italic serif with sharp, hairline serifs and strong thick–thin modulation. Strokes show a calligraphic, right-leaning construction: thin entry/exit strokes and tapered joins lead into fuller verticals, creating a lively diagonal rhythm. Serifs appear largely unbracketed and knife-like, and many terminals finish with pointed or teardrop shapes that add sparkle at text sizes. Proportions are compact and slightly condensed in places, with a consistent italic slant across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors with italic emphasis, and pull quotes where its contrast and slant add hierarchy and motion. It also fits formal communication—event programs, invitations, and branding that benefits from a refined, high-fashion serif voice—especially in larger sizes where the hairlines can be appreciated.
The overall tone is polished and literary, balancing drama from the contrast with a controlled, editorial restraint. It reads as classical and formal, with a fashion-magazine elegance and a slightly theatrical flair that draws attention to headlines and emphasized passages.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast italic companion for sophisticated typesetting, combining traditional serif construction with crisp modern precision. Its steep modulation and sharp detailing suggest an emphasis on elegance and typographic drama rather than utilitarian neutrality.
Capitals are stately and crisp, with generous internal counters on rounded forms (C, O, Q) and sharp apexes on diagonals (A, V, W). Lowercase shows a traditional italic structure with single-storey forms and a flowing, cursive-like movement; the italic a and g feel especially calligraphic. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with fine hairlines and pronounced curves, supporting use in display and editorial settings.
